Game 2 couldn’t have been much closer, as it took a sacrifice fly from Francisco Lindor in the ninth inning to break the tie. The run would eventually be the game-winner, as the Yankees went down in order with Aaron Judge striking out to end the game. The Mets avoided a three-game losing streak in the process. They are the only team to still not have a three-game losing streak this season. The Yankees got on the board first with a solo shot by DJ LeMahieu in the third. The Mets went ahead on another sac fly from designated hitter Mark Vientos, but Cody Bellinger was able to tie the game on another solo homer for the Yankees.

We are in for a great pitching matchup for this Sunday night finale. The Yankees are expected to go with their best starter Max Fried, who is tied for first in the league with a 6-0 record and a 1.11 ERA. The Mets will go with David Peterson. While the lefty can’t match those numbers, he can more than hold his own with a 2-2 record and a 3.05 ERA.
